I know it's probably on their site somewhere, but does anyone now it?

All I know is whatever place opens first, I'll be there.

supposed to get small amounts of snow all this week plus snowmaking, they always set up jibs for opening day, shooting for nov 1st, hopefully i can beat my record last year and go oct 28th, but i doubt it.

For a while I was really dissapointed in NS and the stoke meter...no one was talking up killington's opening like last season when they got that freak 29inch storm...

Glad to see it back in action..

they're not going to hit this weekend...I'm feeling the weekend of the 4th.
